$50+
Profit Per Day
For Intraday and EOD Performance Accounts to remain active, you must meet a minimum activity requirement:
Record at least 2 trading days with $50 or more in net profit within every rolling 30-day period.
This requirement is measured continuously. It is not a calendar month reset - the system constantly checks whether you have met the threshold in the past 30 days.
The purpose of this rule is to ensure active participation and consistent engagement with your funded account.
| Day | What Happens | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1-14 | Account remains active, no warnings | Active |
| Day 15 | Account enters dormant phase. First notification sent. | Dormant |
| Day 20 | Second notification sent reminding you of upcoming closure. | Dormant |
| Day 30 | Account permanently closed. Cannot be reinstated. | Closed |
Dormant accounts appear in the "Dormant PAs" section of your user dashboard.
If a Performance Account is closed due to inactivity, the consequences are severe and irreversible:
Important: This means all your profits, all your progress, and all your work on that PA is gone forever if you let it go inactive for 30 days.
Meeting the activity requirement is straightforward. Just follow these guidelines:
What is the Apex Trader Funding inactivity rule?
You must record at least 2 trading days with $50 or more in net profit within every rolling 30-day period to keep your Performance Account active.
What happens after 15 days of inactivity?
Your account moves into the dormant phase and appears in the 'Dormant PAs' section of your dashboard. You will receive email notifications on days 15 and 20 warning you about the upcoming closure.
When does Apex close an inactive account?
If 30 consecutive calendar days pass without meeting the activity threshold, your Performance Account will be permanently closed.
Can I get my account back after inactivity closure?
No. Closed accounts due to inactivity cannot be reinstated. You lose permanent access and forfeit any accumulated rewards or payout eligibility.
Does the rule apply to evaluation accounts?
The inactivity rule specifically applies to Intraday and EOD Performance Accounts (funded accounts). Check your evaluation terms for separate requirements.
What counts as a qualifying trading day?
